What Are You Reading Right Now?
Posted on 11/01/2005 7:42:00 PM PST by MplsSteve
I'm interested in hearing what fellow Freepers are reading these days.
Fiction...non-fiction...trashy novels...technical manuals...it doesn't matter.
I'll start this.
I'm reading "The Kingfish and His Realm; The Life and Times of Huey P Long" by William Ivy hair.
A great book that explores the darker side of Huey P Long that hasn't been covered in other biographies.
Well? What are YOU reading?

Don't ask me why but I recently picked up "Rabbit, Run" by John Updike. Never read any Updike before except for some short stories, "A&P" being one of them I remember well.

Stonewall Jackson, by C.F.R. Henderson, 714 pages and I've done 567. Great book!
Stonewall was among the top 5-6 generals of all time, along with Alexander the Great, Hannibal, von Manstein, & Subedai.

Yup. Thats the mark of a good book. You never tire of it.
My fav is still The Last Lion v2 by Manchestor. I've reread it so many times that its falling apart on me.

Aristotle's "Problemata". Very enlightening. For example, in book I problem 50, he recommends sexual excess as beneficial against diseases caused by phlegm. Now, it gives one a good turn of the phrase when dealing with somebody with a persistent cough or a running nose.
